CURTIN ROASTS THE JOHNSON MACHINE TELLS OF THE INEFFICIENCY AND EXTRAVAGANCE OF THE PRESENT STATE ADMINISTRATION HOLY HI LAYING CLAIM TO LAWS ENACTED YEARS BEFORE HE BECAME GOVERNOR Senator John B. Curtin, democratic candidate for governor of California and Jo V. Snyder, his running mate, motored into Anaheim shortly after noon Friday on their tour of the Southland. Both made speeches at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Mr. Snyder's address was not very lengthy as he was anxious to make a tour of the town and visit the print shops. Being publisher of a newspaper himself he always feels at home in the editorial sanctum. Senator Curtin spoke for an hour defining his attitude on the issues confronting the voters in the present campaign. He paid his respects to Gov. Johnson and said that he has built up a political machine the like of which never existed in California. He is making his campaign principally on the proposal to abolish the appetitive system, thereby curtailing the power of the governor and also, as he claims, reducing the cost of government. He is armed with figures taken from the records at Sacramento. Mr. Curtin is a good talker and was listened to with attention by a good-sized audience. His speech was directed mainly at the present incompetent state administration, and during his remarks he I am here to assert ought to be torn down? I am not here, my friends, to go into the explanation of the number of commissions and the amount of money that each one of that army of Christian soldiers is now using which makes up those seven million dollars of extra cost. I do not stop at that, because that is the cost for one year only, but take the cost of each of the preceding three years, and you have more millions than anybody has ever dreamed of being necessary to maintain the state government." THIEF LOGATED IN TOP OF TREE Fred Wimmier Lands In Jail on Charge Of Stealing Walnuts After an exciting chase Fred Wimmer was arrested Saturday morning by Constable Kellenberger and lodged in jail charged with stealing walnuts, and on Monday he was arraigned before Judge Howard on a petty larceny charge. He was returned to jail under a $500 bond and will have his trial at a date designated by the district attorney. C. S. Miller of Santa Ana, was the complaining witness. Wimmer had been working for him, and it appears had been purloining nuts and caching them until he could find an opportunity to sell them. Wimmer with three sacks of nuts in his buggy was met Saturday morning as he was coming to town by Manager Shopherd of the Miller ranch, who was looking for a walnut thief. On being interrogated his replies were unsatisfactory so Shopherd came to town and notified the officer. In company with William Hauser Kellenberger started south in an auto hoping to intercept the man. They found he had deserted the rig, leaving a boy to drive into town, and had made a short cut across the felds to the ranch. After considerable search through the premise there is probably no evidence of his involvement in any criminal activity. WALNUT HIGHER LAST BUDDED NUTS CENT, ALL HALF A CENTER OWING TO THE SUPPLY WILL OF THE Walnut grower receive a higher this year than a Walnut Grower fixed a price off No. 1 nuts.

He is armed with figures taken from the records at Sacramento. Mr. Curtin is a good talker and was listened to with attention by a good-sized audience. His speech was directed mainly at the present incompetent state administration, and during his remarks he said. "It is somewhat remarkable that the Governor of this state and all his commissions have gone up and down this state, telling you that it was due to a progressive legislature that you have, for the first time in history, a law that requires public service corporations to pay their just proportion of taxes. It would occur to me that history is too fresh in the minds of the people of the state of California to successfully make such a claim. I am the author of every particle of that revenue law, from its beginning to its end, and the governor of this state has repeatedly said that he would lick it out of the statutes if he had the power; and it was because of the constant attacks on that law that your lamented State Controller, A. B. Nye, was driven into his grave, for he stood as its sponsor with me. And now, fellow citizens, when it has been demonstrated that that law will yield this year nearly $15,000,000—almost twice as much as I promised the people it would yield the first year it went into effect, and twice as much as ever was needed before Mr. Johnson became Governor—the progressive administration would claim credit for kicking the Southern Pacific company out of politics, a credit that it is not entitled to the extent of an iota. It is as clear as the light of day that the Southern Pacific and every other corporate influence had been eliminated body and soul from the political affairs of California before Mr. Kirram W. Johnson appeared upon the scene of action. "Anyone who has followed Gov. Gillett's administration knows that it was in his administration that you got your present bank laws, your building and loan laws, your insurance laws, your direct primary law, the elimination of legislative graft, and the adoption of your present revenue amendment to the constitution of California, and yet no one would say that Gov. Gillett could ever have been re-elected." "Upon the expiration of Gov. Gillett's term, Mr. Johnson succeeded, and not content with the political machine that then existed, by having the right to appoint every single director and officer created by law since 1879, he sought to take from the electorate the power to elect a single one of the state ocuers that they had been elected." "Upon the expiration of Gov. Gillett's term, Mr. Johnson succeeded, and not content with the political machine that then existed, by having the right to appoint every single director and officer created by law since 1879, he sought to take from the electorate the power to elect a single one of the state ocuers that they had been elected." All RACES MIX IN EUROPEAN WAR Circassians, Malays, Mongolians, Negroes and Possibly Americans Engaged All of the five races of man have been drawn into the European struggle with the possible exception of the American red man, and it is not certain that he is not taking a hand in the fray. One hundred Oklahoma Indians recently got separated from the Wild West show in Germany and are lost. It is presumed that they tasted or smelled/blood, the thin veneer of civilization peeled off, and they are having a hilarious time tomahawkking and scalping Germans, French, English, Russians or any other white men who happen to be handy to their reach. At any rate the other four races are in it. The Mongolians are represented by the Japs, England has rushed large numbers of Malays from her East Indian possessions into Europe and now a horde of blacks from Africa are pouring in to aid France. "La Force Nire Noire"—the "Black Army of France" as the Turcos nowighting with the allies are called—was organized by Colonel Maugin in 1901. The Turcs are Arabian light infantry recruited in Algeria. The force in 1907 consisted of only about 9000 Sengalese. Colonel Maugin raised the number to 50,000 soldiers recruited from Senegal in the Soudan, from French Guenaa, Dahomey, Algeria, Tunis and Morocco. The supply of men from this source is almost inexhaustible, and furthermore, this source of supply is out of the enemy's reach. It is declared that so long as only one port remains in France hands these terrible black fighters can be poured in streams into France. The black soldiers of these districts are born fighters.

Now, as a result of the administration which Gov. Johnson boasts of so much, I want to ask you, my friends, in all kindness, if you can take the messages of the governor of 1911 and of 1913 and point to a constructive idea that meant for the betterment of California, unless it coupled with it a political power to run with the Governor? What has been the condition of affairs in this state since his appointment? In 1912 we find him out of the state doing politics all over the United States. We find since the first day of January, 1913, our distinguished governor from one end of California to the other doing politics. Now, when he tells you that his administration has been so wise and so efficient, let me show to you that in 1910 the tax levy bill for the support of the state of California, as found in the Statutes of 1909, on page 755, which year, 1910, was the last year of Gov. Gillett's administration, that levy was $7,279,776.00. Now let me show you the statutes of 1913, and show you the tax levy as found on page 1084 of this statute is $14,908,900.00. Now, the difference between the last year of Gov. Gillett's administration and the last of Gov. Johnson's administration is $7,029,124.00, which is $349,348.00 more than double the amount it took to support the entire state government during the last year of Gov. Gillett's administration; and I want to ask you, my friends—republicans, Democrats and progressives—if you have not pretty dearly paid for the maintenance of the political system which Gov. Johnson asked you to perpetuate and which ed the number to 50,000 soldiers recruited from Senegal in the Soudan, from French Guenaa, Dahomey, Algeria, Tunis and Morocco. The supply of men from this source is almost inexhaustible, and furthermore, this source of supply is out of the enemy's reach. It is declared that so long as only one port remains in France hands these terrible black fighters can be poured in streams into France. The black soldiers of these districts are born fighters. Death in battle is to them, the highest distinction one can achieve. As a result they are relentless in the fury of their attacks and absolutely fearless. They never surrender. Their wonderful physique and almost total imperviousness to pain, keeps them fighting on after they have received wounds under which fighters of white races succumb. Rinehold Dinkler, who lives on the Olive road east of town was arrested by motorcops Ballard and Vestal Saturday evening for reckless driving on the highway and brought into Anheim. Because of his abusive language directed toward the officials and all constituted authority he was landed in jail and given an opportunity to cool off. P. Nicolas later put up $100 for his release and he was given his liberty. On Monday morning he was taken into Justice Cox's court and assessed $50 for driving a rig while intoxicated. Dinkler is noted for occasional spurs of recklessness on the road. J. R. Wilson, a leader in G. A. R. circles in Santa Ana and for many years a prominent resident, was riding a bicycle along Main street Monday when he was stricken with heart failure.

The advance on budded nuts is one cent per pound and all others half a cent. More than $3,000,000 will be realized from the 1914 crop. The Southern California Walnut Growers' association Thursday fixed the quotation for all nuts handled through that organization. No.1, the standard grade will sell this season for 16.12 cents a pound, a figure breaking all previous records for high price obtained. Walnuts of No.1 grade opened at 16 cents last year, at that time a record. Other grades which are quoted accordingly, are budden nuts, 20 cents; Jumbo nuts, 19; No.2, 12, and culls at 9 cents. The harvest will yield 9000 tons, or 18,000,000 pounds. It will require more than 800 cars to ship the crop which is practically oversold at the present moment. This remarkable situation obtained as early as last May, when eastern buyers offered to take heavy allotments at whatever figure was decided on by the Association, subject to confirmation on the date prices were arranged. Within an hour of dispatching quotations to various parts of the United States, answers began to pour in on Secretary Carlile Thorpe, accepting the figures, so that there is probability that the movement of the nuts will be the most allotted in the Southern California building to the school exhibit. It is a hallway about 200 feet long. It was with considerable difficulty that an arrangement was made whereby there would be an equal division of the use of the space among seven counties represented in the building. At first it was thought advisable to divide the space according to the number of high schools. That did not prove satisfactory to the smaller counties. Orange county would have been given only one twelfth of the space. Division according to average school attendance was no more satisfactory than by the number of high schools. Finally an agreement was reached whereby it will all be one exhibit—all Southern California without county designations. Each article will be marked with the name of the pupil and his grade, but there will be nothing to show from what school or town he comes. The superintendents of the seven counties are to gather the exhibits and send them to Hugh J. Baldwin, San Diego county superintendent, who has been chosen as director of the school exhibit. He will select the exhibits, and will change them from time to time. One method by which a county will receive individual publicity will be allowed, and that will be through the display of photographs of school buildings. With its splendid high schools, Orange county will make an excellent showing along that line. Superintendent Mitchell also proposes to make a feature of the photographs of the methods of transportation used by some of the union high school districts of the county. (Authorized Publicity) MRS.

First papers of naturalization have been taken out by Frazz Ettl, a farmer of Tustin, aged 35, native of Hungary and in this country since 1905, and by Joe Callens, a farmer of Irvine, native of Belgium, aged 26, here since 1908. Caliens' brother recently returned to Belgium for a visit, and while there was taken into the army. He had taken up his first papers before he left, but that did not let him off from service as he was still a citizen of Belgium and will be until his This remarkable situation obtained as early as last May, when eastern buyers offered to take heavy allotments at whatever figure was decided on by the Association, subject to confirmation on the date prices were arranged. Within an hour of dispatching quotations to various parts of the United States, answers began to pour in on Secretary Carlisle Thorpe, accepting the figures, so that there is probability that the movement of the nuts will be the most rapid in history. There was some selling by independent growers at 17 cents on No. 1 grade, subject to confirmation of association prices, and in such instances a fractional decline will be made. The organized growers comprise 80 per cent of the men in the business this year, and these are members of seventeen associations, all affiliated with the central organization. The total crop is just about the same size as last year. The reason for the high value is not only a shortage caused by inability of the United States to import a large amount of foreign product, but particularly the fact that the walnuts have never been of finer quality. The grading snows a record output of No. 1 and jumbo sizes. The shells are well filed and the meat is white, with a very small percentage of black, which nearly ruined the sale of the crop last year and caused a concerted howl from jobbers in all parts of America. The annual importation of walnuts is practically double what California produces, and this is the only state in the union which can show a crop of commercial quantities. With the exception of Italy, which averages 5,000,000 pounds; China, which averages 3,000,000; South America, which averages 1,500,000, the other producing countries are at war, or on the point of it. France is the greatest exporter to the United States, and has an annual crop of 25,000,000 pounds; Austria, Germany, England and Turkey produce about 4,000,000 pounds, and the bulk of this production comes to America. The total foreign production is about 35,000,000 pounds. The normal consumption of the United States is 62,350,000 pounds, so that if all of the crop of the neutral nations is shipped here, there will still be an immense shortage, which means that California walnuts will bring the new price without any trouble, and any nuts that may be left over after the first demand has been supplied will bring much higher prices.

U. people have asked me at different times (not recently) to help them and I have always declined, not that I am not in favor of temperance, but because I did not think their methods were always wise, or likely to achieve the end in view. I am opposed to intemperance, but not to a moderate use of wine, and I am convinced that the countries where wine are freely used are not those where the highest rate of intemperance prevails. In this wine producing state especially, I think it would be a mistake and do much more harm than good to establish prohibition. Yours very truly, PHOEBE A. HEARST, July 27th, 1914. LAND RECLAIMED BY IRRIGATION Twenty Thousand Acres Made Valuable in Orange County by Pumps That 20,000 acres of orchard are irrigated with water from pumping plants is a statement made by W. L. Deimling, district manager of the Southern California Edison company. Through pumping plants, pastures and used for growing beans and grain have been turned into citrus fruit, walnut and apricot orchards. Deimling, as a "blue juice" man is especially interested in the pumping plants run by electricity, of which there are 400 out of 700 in the county. To run the plants, the Edison company supplies a connected load of 12,000 horse power. As indicating the advancement made in the use of electricity, Deimling shows that 16,693 horse power is carried on the company's lines in the Santa Ana district, as against 1169 horse power in 1905. Until pump plants were proven successful, many of the 20,000 acres now irrigated by pumping plants were considered almost worthless. Water made a great difference. Captured by Belgium. First papers of naturalization have been taken out by Frazz Ettl, a farmer of Tustin, aged 35, native of Hungary and in this country since 1905, and by Joe Callens, a farmer of Irvine, native of Belgium, aged 26, here since 1908. Callens' brother recently returned to Belgium for a visit, and while there was taken into the army. He had taken out his first papers before he left, but that did not let him off from service as he was still a citizen of Belgium and will be until his final papers are secured. Factory Aftermath. An outgrowth of the failure of the Branaghan glass factory at Newport Beach was shown Thursday in the county creek's office when Carl Hinger brought suit against J. B. Branaghan, president of the company; P. L. Sherman, secretary; and the Branaghan Glass Manufacturing company. It is alleged in the complaint that Hellinger in June, 1913, was induced to pay $2000 for 4000 shares of stock in the glass factory company. It is alleged that Hellinger bought the stock through misrepresentation by Branaghan and Sherman. It is stated that they told the plaintiff that the company was on a sound financial footing. That it had $50,000 in its treasury. Hellinger now declares that at that time there was but $15,000 in the treasury, and that the company was not on a sound financial footing. Judgment for $2000 is asked against the defendants. The Torpedo exploded. Zeno Simington, aged 6, hit a railway signal torpedo with a hammer at Santa Ana Thursday and was taken to a hospital for repairs. The boy is the son of T. M. Simington, who lives near the Southern Pacific. The torpedo was picked up on the tracks. When Zeno put the torpedo on the cement sidewalk and struck it with a hammer there was an explosion. The boy's right forearm was deeply gashed, the ends of his fingers torn open, one knee lacerated and his body petered with bits from the torpedo. While painful, the injuries are not serious. Clalms He was Swindled. Another horse trade has been taken to court. When such trades get to court it is generally on the ground that someone got a horse that was not what was expected. Henry Schindler is the plaintiff in the most recent case of the kind brought in the superior court and Arthur Keach the defendant. The complaint states that on September 12 Schindler gave Keach a note for $50 and a team of mares worth $150 in exchange for a team of bay horses. Schindler thought the team he got was worth $200. He now states that the bays are worth only $50. He says that they were represented to be sound good Immense shortage, which means that California walnuts will bring the new price without any trouble, and any nuts that may be left over after the first demand has been supplied will bring much higher prices.

It is a long time since I have used Doan's Kidney Pills as I have had no need of them since they cured me. One in our home, however, has taken Doan's Kidney Pills several times since I last endorsed them and has always found quick and satisfactory relief. Some years ago I publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills and told how they had brought relief to one of the family from pains in the back and kidney weakness.

WLL EXHIBIT AT SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION Orange County Pupils Will be Represented in Art Department Pupils of the schools of Orange county are to have some of their work exhibited at the exposition at San Diego. County superintendent of schools R. P. Mitchell will soon send a circular letter to teachers of the county asking them to procure certain kinds of samples of school work. Mitchell was in San Diego last Friday and Saturday, and saw the space especially interested in the pumping plants run by electricity, of which there are 400 out of 700 in the county. To run the plants, the Edison company supplies a connected load of 12,000 horse power. As indicating the advancement made in the use of electricity, Delmiling shows that 15,699 horsepower is carried on the company's lines in the Santa Ana district, as against 1159 horse power in 1905. Until pumping plants were proven successful, many of the 20,000 acres now irrigated by pumping plants were considered almost worthless. Water made a great difference. Land worth $100 an acre went to $400 and $500 in some sections, and $1000 in others. Some of the bean growing land worth $250 for beans, became worth $1200 for citrus brult. Electrically propelled plants are being used extensively to supplement the gravity flow of the two biggest irrigation companies in the county—the Santa Ana Valley irrigation Company, which supplies lands around Olive, Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin, and the Anaheim Union Water Company, which irrigates lands around Anaheim, Placentia and Fullerton. These two companies got their gravity water from the Santa Ana river. Four months of each year they operate five plants day and night, taking a constant supply of 1500 horse power in Juice. One of the Anaheim Union Water company's wells throws a stream of 450 inches. The San Joaquin Fruit company which owns 1000 acres near Tustin, developed its water in the lowlands and by pump boosted it to the lands where orchards were afterward set out. Through pumping plants alone 1000 acres was transformed from dry farming to irrigated lands. In the last year the county's pumping plants have increased in number and the area of irrigated lands is constantly increasing. The development through pumping plants is hardly well begun. Prominent irrigationists say that much of the future development of this county will be through its pumping plants. J. F. Johnson and wife were visiting in Anaheim Sunday, guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Holly. Tired of Dodging Officers. William M. Albertro, a well-dressed good-looking man, surrendered to City Marshal French, at Fullerton, stating that he was tired of dodging officers. For some time he has feared arrest. Albertro says he forged three checks recently at Dixon, Ca., signing the name of P. J. Hall of city and making the checks payable to himself. He got the money and left. Rivalry at Olive. There is lively rivalry at Olive as to who shall market the oranges and lemons of that section. Two co-operative associations have been formed, and a campaign is being made to sign up members among the growers. Hitherto the Olive growers who belonged to an association had their fruit handled at Orange. Then came an effort to form an association to sell through the Mutual Fruit Distributors of Redlands. Some of the growers incorporated. No sooner was this project under way than a quick movement among the growers got together forty-five men who formed another association to affiliate with the Orange County Fruit Exchange, composed of seven associations, which markets its fruit through the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, with headquarters in Los Angeles.

Fruit Company in Bad. That unpaid crop claims aggregating $10,000 in this community stand against the Independent Fruit Company is the assertion of attorneys representing local growers who have inspired the filing of a petition of involuntary bankruptcy against W. P. Penn and the Independent Fruit Company in the federal court in Los Angeles. The Independent Fruit Company has been operating houses in Romona, Santa Paula, Corona, Rivera, Anaheim, Uplands and Orange. It is understood that Penn, the manager and main stockholder in the concern, is now in the east attempting to raise money to handle his affairs. The Orange house was closed last week under an attachment secured by L. W. Hemphill and C. S. Spencer. Other claims in the hands of Hartwick & Carrett amount to about $9,000, and additional claims will bring the total amount owed to growers here to $10,000. There are some claims for labor also; but it is understood that these do not amount to a very large sum. CLEAN BILL OF LADING The Railroad Commission has issued a general order, effective October 1, providing that the railroads shall hereafter issue clean bills of lading to shippers of carload freight and discontinue the practice of noting on such bills of lading "Shippers load, and count." The text of the order is as follows: "It is hereby ordered that all railroads issue to shippers of carload freight from agency stations a clean bill of lading at the request of the shipper, and in such cases to discontinue the practice of noting on bill of lading 'Shipper's load and count.'" "It is further ordered that, upon request of shipper of carload freight from a non-agency station, the railroad will send a man to check the loading and issue a clean bill of lading, the expense (except transportation of the man to and from point of loading to perform service of checking) to be borne by the shipper." This means that all shippers of walnuts, beans, and in fact all kinds of freight will receive a receipt from the railroads stating the number of pieces of goods contained in cars.
